would you prefered a labneh cake with gooseberry topping?

[Tbites]

Oooooh, you know I'm going to Google that now !

Soft cheese made from yogourt... does it taste like cheesecake ?

[2010ontest]

yup, taste similar to cheese cake...

I don't buy cream cheese so I always made labneh cake with my homemade plain yogurt drained 24h in fridge.
I had 12 portions in my last labneh cake, we are 6, so after one diner, one supper the cake was finish

My Maxi & Cie (Papineau & Crémazie) had blueberries for 2/$2.00. That's half the advertised price.
They seemed good, a few had a moldy berry, but most were fine.

I recently discovered an amazing recipe for Blueberry Lemon Cake (from yet another blog I read). I have no excuse now for not making it this weekend. It's so delicious and refreshing this time of year. mmmmm.

Thanks, that sounds good. I've save it in my recipe file to try -- but will substitute cranberries

ETA: That's a great site, too!

why when we start a new thread in Montreal section the default color for the characters is so faint?

Who want faint yellow or beige in white font?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

need to call bell this morning...

dh was having a problem to start his car last friday when he was at an appointment

we don't have cell phone... so he used a bell phone cabin and used credit card

He need to do 5 tentatives...
only 2 of them he spoke with someone: garagist and me
Now he his billed 5 times, more than 10$ each time event for the 3 when he speek to nobody

would have been better to go buy a chocolate bar or gum at dépanneur and ask for change to do the call than used the credit card

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[GeorgiaK]

Ontest, it is cheaper to get a pre-paid card or to do pay-as-you-go. We got for my dad for emergencies and he loves it.

depanneur was at 2 minute walking... go and grab a chocolate bar would have been better

Ended they cancel 3 of 5 transactions after we called them this morning.
bell phone cabin are now let to subcontract... but we don't know how there system worked exactly... they saw the last call have never connected and decided to cancel charge for that one.

They said they had connection for call number 2 and 3 (garagist was call number 1, he talked to me at call number 4, retry to call me at call number 5 but was already on the road)... but hey, call number 2 and 3 were done to our home and we don't have answering machine, and I was not at home! So this is impossible that the call get a connection!

so far... first call (garagist) was local and cost 1.15$... but our home is long distance call from this area... how they charge? 7.99$ for long distance 1.09$/minute, minimum of 2 minutes... so minimum charged when connection is made is 10.17$... we talked 4 minutes so total is 12.35$.

By calling them this morning to get clarification we had more than 35$ false billed reimbursed...

What I found weird is how they could have that much of false billing?

So far, this is the first time we need that in more than 15 years without cell phone...
we saved more to didn't have cell phone on the long run anyway

ontest I have a contract with Bell that is supposed to be $186 a month for satellite, internet and home phone. They have NEVER got it right yet. I think their computer system overrides everything and my bills have been $250 + every month,. I have to spend hours on the phone with all my bills and all the transaction upgrade numbers going over and over it. I am so fed up with them. You would think that once they put something in the computer it would stay there but it does not. So since i get adjustments every month with cedits etc. i never know what to expect. I have to call them again because the last bill although it had the credits from last mistake have new mistakes

Bell sucks, i cut them off. We have 2 cell phones no landline anymore, we dont use the phone much for now...till the kids grow up!!

Cranberries sound awesome!!! Great idea, now I know what to make in the fall!!!

[Patty Smyth]

Bell sucks, i cut them off. We have 2 cell phones no landline anymore, we dont use the phone much for now...till the kids grow up!!

Yes they do unfortunately I need them for my landline or my alarm won't work. I tried to switch to Distributel but it did not support the alarm system. Also my dad has a paranoid thing about having a land line in case the when the zombie apocalypse hits the cell phone network goes down. It's not really the phone part that is expensive $14.95 a month, it's the satellite and their digital program doesn't have everything we want ayways. Don't even get me started on Videotron lol

[super_e]

I ended up wasting 45 minutes on the phone with Bell to get a $3.45 credit one time.
I think a lot of people figure it's not worth their time to get these errors fixed, if they even notice them at all.

I have a question for y'all. I have a DSL connection for internet (not with Bell). I'm thinking of cancelling my home phone line. Would I still be able to use DSL internet?

[2010ontest]

the thing I found bad for me and dh, is that the problem come from bell-but-not-bell-because-this-is-subcontractant-based in-LA-for-bell-phone-cabin-everywhere-outside.

Have you already see a phone cabin that is not a bell cabin?

sure next time he will use coin and that's it!

[Darth Penguin]

Mr Penguin persauded the loyality dept of Bell to give us a PVR for free. Now I need to upgrade my cell phone as I keep getting letters about it.
